Can This Nose Be Corrected? To What Extent? (photo)

A good rhinoplasty surgeon can both improve a crooked nose and breathing at the same time, yet preserve your ethnicity.

Crooked nose
Most but not all crooked noses are caused bu trauma. Sometimes it can be congenital. In order to correct the shape the septum also has to be corrected. Most often it is the septum that pulls the tip of the nose to on side or the other. If the bones are also shifted the will have to be corrected as well. It is a difficult procedure but very effective.
